Abstract

Network Monitoring and Intrusion Detection Systems plays an important role in today's computer networks health, allowing the diagnosis and detection of anomalous situations on the network that could damage the performance and put the security of users data in risk if not detected or diagnosed in time to take any necessary measures. In this paper we present a preliminary specification and analysis of a network monitoring and intrusion detection concept system based on constraint programming, implemented on several constraint solver systems. This concept allows to describe the desirable network situations through constraints on network entities, allowing a more expressive and clear way of describing network situations.
